"Downstairs"

You gave so many reasons
Why you could not
Come Downstairs.
I only have one
And it's so simple
I have no need
For poetry to explain
So I'll keep this
Short and sweet
So unexceptional
It could fit in a Tweet:
The only reason
I cannot come downstairs
Is because
I have no upstairs.

Dulwich Poet 3rd November 2013

( There was a poem called 'Why You Cannot Go Downstairs' in the poetry book 'The Prince of Wails' by Stephen Knight [pub.2012] which I had borrowed from the Poetry Library)
